    Simulating paper colors with ink

    Thanks to everyone for the replies on this. I am looking into some of the things suggested, but our experience has been the same as what tngcas described, and not just from Neenah - we just can't get colored papers. Right now we're just looking for less-than-perfect options to at least offer...

    Simulating paper colors with ink

    My apologies if this has been covered before, or if I’ve posted it to the wrong forum. I have a number of clients placing orders for their one- and two-color letterheads and envelopes on paper colors that are currently unavailable to me - right now Classic Linen Natural White and Antique Gray...

    anyone use Hostmann ink on a ab dick?

    I ran a 360 with integrated dampening pretty much daily for 20 years, until we closed our shop about 7 years ago. What we found to perform best was Spinx acrylic ink (and for a while another brand of acrylic that Xpedx was selling.) We used it initially with Silvermaster paper plates and later...

    More Ryobi 3302 feed issues.

    Does the press have a back blower for the paper? I'm not familiar with your press, but what you're going through brings back vivid memories of very similar problems I used to have. One thing I used to do on an old AB Dick was rig up my own blower for the back of the paper pile (the first time I...

    hp 5000 print driver

    With our older macs we used something called Plate Pro for printing laser plates. It allowed us to select a print driver that automatically positioned the page image allowing for plate bend, and print the application's crop/registration marks. The company that sold this is apparently out of...
